What on Earth Am I Here For?

     I once got lost in the mountains. When I stopped to ask for directions to the campsite, I was told," You
can't get there from here. You must start from the other side of the mountain!" In the same way,you cannot arrive at your life's purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. You must begin with god, your Creator.
You exist only because God wills it that you exist. You were made by God and for God--and until you
understand that, life will never make sense. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.
